I'm going to build a DIY tire carrier , I plan to mount it to the bumper instead of the frame , I'll have a pin that you pull out so that it will swing down to the down position so I can load/unload the tire , I'll try to post some pictures of my design.
Its about the same design as the Road treks tire carrier except it will be mounted to bumper instead of the frame or the hitch.
Really aint that much to it
I got the metal out of a scrap pile ( 1x2" tubeing about 5 foot long and a little 2"x2" square tubeing
I'll buy 3 wheel studs from auto parts store that I'll have a welder weld on .
6"x6" 10 guage steel plate to thread the wheel studs through
I'll cut everything to size and then take the parts to local welder
I'll need a couple of grade 8 bolts and nuts for the swing down portion and the pin
Paint & Clear coat
Dont know what I'll do for a tire cover because I'll need one like the Road Trek one thats got the hump
